- Description
- The Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) file format is a digital file format used primarily in astronomy for storing, transmitting, and analyzing scientific images and data. Developed in the late 1970s, FITS was designed to provide a standard for the interchange of astronomical data, facilitating the sharing and analysis of data among astronomers and researchers worldwide.
- The PGX file format is associated with Hopedot VOS, a virtual operating system software that allows users to run a separate operating environment on their computers, similar to virtualization technologies. A PGX file typically contains data related to the Hopedot VOS environment, such as settings, applications, and other user-specific information.
